When our embassy was burning and people were dying, hillary, this administration did NOT go after terrorists.

They went after the First Amendment.

Now, let me make THIS clear: the First Amendment is what allows the people and the representatives of their government to "talk about this". No matter how unpleasant, unpopular, unseeming, or theratening to your political careers, it assures the people that they can "talk about this",

By going after the First Amendment, this Administration, and thus YOU by extention, no longer want to settle differences between yourselves and the people you represent by talking about it.

Thus, when (not if) it blows up in your face, there will be no more falling back on "LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS!" to avoid the deathly consequences of this intentional violation of a contractual document YOU decided to violate. That's GONE. No more hiding behind a shield you used once to protect YOUR protests, but which YOU scrapped yourselves to deny US protection for OUR protests. That's GONE.

#4 Yesterday was a naseating theatrical performance which I will entitle "Lies, and Damn Lies".

I can postulate, but truthfully, I have absolutely no idea of what actually took place at Benghazi. I do know however, where that knowledge lies and who will eventually release it. It will be released when one of the those mystery people [26 I believe it was] extracted by the COS in Tripoli and eventually flown to Landstuhl rips up his or her non-disclosure statement goes rogue with a story or writes a book.

#8 A performance tantrum suitable for Oprah not the Senate--Crying and slamming her fists but never answering any questions. Rand Paul seemed to have the proper demeanor for the affair--his recommendation: "Fire her."

#13 Dangers of militancy? Does she even remember Sept 11 or anything that happened since. How bizzare that nobody in this administration considered the lessons of Afghanistan and Iraq when they jumped into Libya with a smile and a 'we know better'. Fools and dolts the lot.

#16 John McCain: Lets hear from the survivors of the Benghazi attackRepublican Ariz. Sen. John McCain wants to hear directly from the survivors of the Benghazi terrorist attack, to shed light on questions he says were left unanswered by Secretary of State Hillary Clintons testimony to the Senate foreign relations committee Wednesday morning.

McCain was asked by Breitbart News whether he thought the survivors should be asked to provide their accounts of what exactly happened before, during and after the Sept. 11, 2012 attack.

They should certainly [do so]. If not come up to Capitol Hill, at least be identified and take their statements as to what they saw, he said.

When asked if he was satisfied with Clintons answers, McCain responded, Of course not. If you watched the hearings, you saw me list about 10 unanswered questions.
